IPTI researchers start to move to Sergipe

** report 1-2009

Despite the fact IPTI has a small office in Sergipe since end of 2007 our activities in Sergipe were still related to the institutional articulations and only occurs during the visits made by any one from IPTI's office in São Paulo. Now it is time to start to have real activities in our office in Sergipe and the first step is my transference to Sergipe, which will occurs next April 17^th. This will reinforce our communications and articulations with local stakeholders as well as help to prepare the field and resources for the first projects. Next May we will start the IADB project which will improve a lot our activities and visibility in Sergipe. So, this will be a slow process must evolve step by step along the next 3 years.
